An RKLB short fills on the retest and scales out

The stated bias was gap-ups and buying dips, but the only thing that actually paid attention to a level was RKLB — a short worked on the retest, filled where the order was waiting, and scaled out in pieces rather than being held for more. Everything else was managed by cancellation: Oracle and an earlier RKLB order pulled when they wouldn't come in, Apple pulled after the fill was missed, HOOD given a five-minute timer that expired without a trigger, Amazon looked at on VWAP and passed. Our desk traders closed the session out with Google at the level.

The morning in figures

ROCE

Net points are per share. Apply your own size to get your own number: at 1,000 shares, 1.66 points is −$1,660.00. At 100 shares it is −$166.00. At one share it is −$1.66. The desk publishes the move, not a dollar result, because the dollars depend entirely on how you size, and that is your decision rather than ours.

Every trade called that morning

Losers included. Rows with more than one leg were scaled out; open any row to see each exit.

Said on the day

An order placed in advance at a level removes the hesitation when the retest actually arrives.

Missing a fill is a reason to cancel, not a reason to enter worse.

Setting a time limit on an unfilled order forces you to re-look at the level, not just the clock.

Scaling out is a way of taking the decision in pieces rather than betting it all on one exit.

A setup you can articulate a reason to skip is a setup you were right to skip.

Hypothetical performance disclaimer

Figures shown reflect trades called on the TrueTrader desk, tracked on a model portfolio — they are not the trading results of any member's account. These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Trading futures and options on futures is highly leveraged and carries a substantial risk of loss that is not suitable for all investors.
